Fox Sez “F9/11 a must-see”

Posted by Rick · June 16th, 2004 · No Comments

I admit, it’s hard to believe, but Fox “News” says,

It turns out to be a really brilliant piece of work, and a film that members of all political parties should see without fail.

As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, “F9/11” ? as we saw last night ? is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty, and at the same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice. Readers of this column may recall that I had a lot of problems with Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine,” particularly where I thought he took gratuitous shots at helpless targets like Charlton Heston. “Columbine” too easily succeeded by shooting fish in a barrel, as they used to say. Not so with “F9/11,” which instead relies on lots of film footage and actual interviews to make its case against the war in Iraq and tell the story of the intertwining histories of the Bush and Bin Laden families.

More than even “The Passion of the Christ,” “F9/11” is going to be a “see it for yourself” movie when it hits theaters on June 25.

Uh…did Moore’s group just buy Fox?
